A comeback??? When did he ever fall off??

[@michaelr.4878]

​@Fishermanguy44 - Nah...it is the nearly 1 million dollar guitar that he is playing that made him suddenly start to play killer again. hehe. The effectiveness of his multiple hair transplants wore off a long time ago. But the Peter Green/Gary Moore guitar came with instructions on how to play his own songs. ..All jokes aside, if I owned that guitar, I would never travel overseas with it. Though, I'm sure he probably buys the thing its own airplane seat. Unfortunately, I am lefthanded and there were only 2 lefties ever made..so I will never own one of those badboys. Plus, I don't have 800,000$ to spend on a guitar. hehe.

[@we_unite3146]

Ive literally heard this song hundreds of times...possibly thousands over the years. The first time was in late 1984 at my buddy house where a few of us would jam out to vinyls with tennis rackets and overturned buckets. I remember being kinda turned off by the slow instrumental beginning. Then live at Day on the Green, Oakland Collesium less than a year later. Ive seen them live close to a dozen times in several states and atleast 2 countries...but whos counting. I vividly remember listening to it the day i choose to be an alcoholic. In a seedy motel, in virginia beach in late 1989, the night before i deployed on a cruise to an unknown land halway across the world, that would eventually become the first Gulf War. I also remember intentionally choosing track number 4 on my mother inlaws CD player to listen to it one last time before i stumbled into a detox/rehab facility in 2007 when i choose not to be an AlcoholicA anymore. To this day i still get goosebumps and teary eyed when i sit a focus on its sounds. Thank you for your years of inspirational work.
